This smells fishy to me too. While we were trying to get rid of a 1992 Continental, we received tons of these scams, primarily the Nigerian scam that 'tjohn' mentioned. We always knew it was a scam because: 1) The so-called "interested party" was always based in Africa. 2) Really bad grammatical errors. 3) "Interested party" always had a check written for like $15,000 so they would send us that check and we'll have to reimburse the remainder of whatever our asking price was.

I'm so glad we got that car sold, and had the sense to know that it was a scam. We must to have received like 10 scam e-mails, maybe even more. Do what we always did, DELETE IT!
